Update- printing the helpful primary colors test from PFP it looks 
like there is a big saturation drop using color controls.  I haven't 
yet profiled it in that state.

I did find that using the MIS R1800 inks on Premium Semi-gloss that I 
could get a profilable set of patches if I used paper type Premium 
Luster, Best and ICM off.

Right now I'm testing Harmom FB Al and Premium Paper Glossy @ Best 
PHoto ICM off seems to work so far.

I did Innova SW 315 (matte) using Ultra Premium presentation Matte 
and Best Photo settings.
